“…Ebenso liegen inkonsistente Ergebnisse zur Yogapraxis in Bezug auf die Reduktion von VMS vor. Die Ergebnisse eines systematischen Reviews lassen zwar eine positive Evidenz für Yoga auf psychologische Symptome in der Menopause erkennen, jedoch keine Verbesserung in Bezug auf VMS [16]. Anders in verschiedenen Arbeiten von Cramer et al In verschiedenen randomisiert-kontrollierten Studien, die Yoga auf seinen Einfluss auf VMS untersuchen, zeigt sich ein positiver Effekt nicht nur auf die Verbesserung von VMS, sondern auch auf die Fatigue und allgemeine Lebensqualität [16,17].…”

“…antiöstrogenähnliche Wirksamkeit besitzen. Die Effektivität von Phytoöstrogenen zur Linderung vasomotorischer Symptome bleibt auch nach Auswertung verschiedener systematischer Reviews, Metaanalysen und Cochrane-Reviews unklar und ihre Sicherheit nach einer hormonsensitiven Tumorerkrankung nicht ausreichend beurteilbar [16,18]. Die Autoren der aktuellen S3-Leitlinie zur Therapie des Mammakarzinoms sowie der S3-Leitlinie zur Hormontherapie in der Peri-und Postmenopause raten deswegen von einer Behandlung mit Sojasupplementen ab [4,14].…”

Background: Premature menopause may impair the quality of life and expose women to disorders such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and depression. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness on the quality of life of women with premature menopause. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study in which 62 women were recruited and randomly allocated in two groups of mindfulness and control. The mindfulness group received eight sessions of training. A demographic questionnaire, Menopause-Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) and a checklist (for assessing frequency and intensity of hot flashes) were used to collect data. The quality of life, frequency, and intensity of hot flashes measured at baseline, after eight weeks and in three months follow-up. The Independent t-test, the chi-square test, and the repeated measure test were used for analyzing data. Results: The score of quality of life was significantly improved after the intervention and in three months follow-up in the mindfulness group compared to the control group (p<0.001). The scores of vasomotor, psychological, physical, and sexual domains also improved significantly in the mindfulness group compared to the control group. The severity and the frequency of hot flashes were significantly reduced in the mindfulness group in comparison to the control group. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that eight weeks of mindfulness training could significantly improve the quality of life and also could reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes in women with premature menopause. Using mindfulness for women with premature menopause is recommended.

Background and AimsSexual dysfunction is one of the most common problems in postmenopausal women that affect their lives. Due to the widespread disadvantages and age limit of drug and hormone therapy, the demand for complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) methods has increased.MethodsThis was a descriptive‐analytical study. A total of 297 postmenopausal women who were referred to health centers in Kerman, southeastern Iran, were selected during the years 2020–2021. The use of CAM and sexual function were examined by Complementary and Alternative Medicine Questionnaire and the Female Sexual Function Index, respectively. Data were collected through a combination of face‐to‐face and online forms.ResultsMore than half of the participants used at least one type of CAM in the preceding year for any general reason. The mean satisfaction score for CAM use was 21.7 ± 5.84; Most reasons of use were for improving quality of life, improving physical function, reducing sleep disorders, improving mood status, reducing vasomotor symptom, and improving sexual function, respectively. Most reasons of use were related to sexual dysfunction. Specifically, the mean score for sexual function was 17.96 ± 7.50 which was lower than the scale's midpoint of 28. According to different subscales of sexual function, 52.9% of participants had good desire, 49.5% good arousal, 34.7% good lubrication, 56.9% good orgasm, and 2% had no pain, and 52.5% were satisfied with their sexual function. There were no significant differences between CAM users and nonusers about sexual functions and all its subscales.ConclusionThere were no significant differences between CAM users and nonusers about sexual functions and all its domains. Further research in different communities with different health systems is recommended to investigate the relationship between CAM and sexual function among postmenopausal women.
